Restoration Project: O Lord, Hear Our Prayer

October 12, 2015

Welcome to Day #12 of the Restoration Project.

We’ve talked a lot about rest so far in this series, but not a lot about prayer. Let’s change that today.

We recently attended a wedding for my cousin and his beautiful wife. The ceremony took place in a Catholic Church. During the Prayers for the Faithful the bride’s cousin prayed for a person or group of people and then the congregation responded with, “O Lord, hear our prayer.”

It was a beautiful ritual of a group of people lifting their voices to the Lord in unison—collectively coming before the Lord and asking Him to hear their heart’s cry.

This stuck with me, so I thought that we could do something similar today.
